Cycling proficiency tests are set to be re-introduced into schools in England.
Organisers say the Bikeability award scheme will give children a more realistic experience of coping with road conditions.
The launch in April follows a pilot project which involved more than 5,000 children in eight regions.
The government is putting £10m into children's cycling, which will pay for around half of all 10-year-olds to take the Bikeability course.
It is estimated that more than 90% of youngsters have never cycled to school.
Bikeability is run by Cycling England, a body set up by the government to encourage children and adults to cycle.
In the last 10 years the number of trips taken by bike is estimated to have fallen by on-fifth.
